The first centre of operations is in Kasuva village near Thiruninravur, 45 KMs West of Chennai. Once largely inhabited by brick kiln labourers, whose children often accompanied them to work, the area has now been transformed into a vibrant community, with child labour totally abolished in Kasuva and over 40+ surrounding villages. Over 2,200 Sevalaya students have passed Std XII since 2005. All of them are either employed or pursuing higher education.
Sevalaya runs a home for 200 plus destitute children, three old age homes for seniors, two hospitals, a gaushala and 9 community colleges which offer vocational training in 11 trades. 75% of the 3,200+ qualified youth are placed on jobs and 25% are self-employed. Medical camps, tuition centres and rescue-to-rehabilitation support for victims of natural calamities and the COVID 19 pandemic are part of Sevalayas services.
